New Tunic

I finished the tunic that I made from the pattern I created from my ready-made sweater tunic.   I made it out of sweatshirt fleece which gives it a different silhouette.  It is more bell shaped and less drapey.  I'm still looking for a good sweater knit fabric so that I can make it again as a sweater.   However, this does show how different fabric choices can influence the shape of a garment.   I like them both. 

 

New Year--New project

It's the new year and I've given myself a new challenge.   I have a purchased sweater that I like and I have decided to recreate it in fabric.  It is very "roomy" so I shouldn't have any problem with the fit.  I purchased a sweatshirt fleece which has a varigated stripe which I can turn vertical or horizontal.  I will use interfacing where necessary to prevent stretching.  I'll post the finished product when completed.   Here's a picture of the sweater that I'll be using for the pattern.  Wish me luck!!
